Canon EF-M 32mm f/1.4 STM Confirmed

[Canon Rumors Guy]

<p>We <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/canon-ef-m-32mm-f-1-4-announcement-coming-for-photokina-cr2-cr3/">reported last month that an EF-M 32mm f/1.4 STM</a> was coming ahead of Photokina in August of 2018, and it looks like that is now confirmed according to Nokishita.</p>
<p>Other sites had reported that a EF-M 32mm f/1.8 STM was on the way, but it turns out our original speed on the lens was correct.</p>

My interest in purchasing an EF-M camera just rose about 9000%

 

[andrei1989]

cool
any idea on an availability date?

EF-M primes are now 22-28-32 mm...will the next one be 34mm?

Looking forward to it!

Canon's fastest prime for APS-C cameras, seems to speak to a growing level of commitment to the M system.

I wonder if they will go back to the metal construction (barrel and mount) used on the first three EF-M lenses?

Hope so. The plastic construction isn't bad, but I prefer the metal.

I am probably in on this lens as well. Assuming the vignetting is not horrible and it is reasonably sharp the f/1.4 will be the selling point for it over the 28 mm.

I'm very happy they are launching this, the focal length for a prime does nothing for me but the fact the line is getting new fast glass is encouraging. I eagerly await the 85.

 

[Woody]

Super duper AWESOME!

I am 100% committed to the M mount now!

Woohooo!!!!!!!!

Finally, a new 50mm (equivalent) 1.4 lens.

Hope this satisfies certain people here ;D ;D

Does Adam have an M body?

 

[Foxdude]

Yes! This is very nice, count me in. IS would have been very nice to have, but this is very tempting even without. Maybe we can see more F1.4 primes in near future? 85mm equivalent at least.

The cheap and lightweight EF 50mm f/1.4 is pretty close.

Here's hoping it will be metal, high end, and non-pancake.

 

[Ditboy]

That will be a good compliment for the Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 35mm f0.95 I have! Also will boost my confidence in Canon's commitment to the M. Next I would love to see a 50-55mm f1.8 or 1.4. Then maybe I won't buy the Rokinon 50 1.2. But I will still continue to add FD lenses to my line up, since I can use those with any mirrorless body, maybe even a Canon full frame. And I still think Canon could eventually replace the Rebel line up with the M line. Most people would pick the smaller M over the bigger and bulkier DSLR if the pricing was similar. The DSLR's life is winding down...

 

[H. Jones]

Really exciting news for the EF-M series. I know we shouldn't expect something quite like the Fuji line-up with weathersealing/etc, but we've never had a EF-S f/1.4 lens from Canon, so this is already a great sign for what's to come.

Definitely has peaked my interest in the M series, though I think I'll still be a holdout until I see what Canon's plans for fullframe mirrorless look like.

 

[traveller]

I sense that some people may be somewhat shocked when the price is revealed...

if it's around the 35 f2 then it'll be worth it
more...well...let's see..

 

[bf]

Good that it will be f1.4! Hopefully in $300 range.

 

[brad-man]

Since Canon has omitted IS, it will absolutely, positively have to be sharp wide open. Eight aperture blades and some nice coatings for flair and I'm a happy camper.

faster glass higher price, however it's an M and it won't be that high.

Canon is pretty slow in releasing everything. How can Sigma, a much smaller company to develop so many great lenses in short time and for multiple mounts?
